Was Lewis complaining to his team on the radio about the penalty? The answer is no, and therein lies Lewis’s admission that he is guilty.

So under that reasoning, Max is never at fault since he complains constantly? Also, are you sure that is what happened did you listen to all of the MB radio or just what was played on the international feed? My guess is that they didn't play the MB feed due to Max being taken to the hospital. They play almost zero of the team radio on the international feed of the race.

What Max has done has done in the past zero to do with what Lewis did to Max at Silverstone. Not having team radio only reinforces my argument. The Team radio is open to all and by the rules has to be unencrypted. If Hamilton had anything to say, it would be out there somewhere, but it’s not. Lewis claims on the radio he was ahead, how the f@%did his front wing hit Max’s rear tire?

...because it depends the f@% on when exactly you compare their relative positions through the entire sequence. 🙄
It is really not that difficult to comprehend, really. 😗

Now, let's wait for the remainder of the season, especially for the next race in Hungary. 🍿

It is not difficult to understand, Lewis got hit with a penalty. There is no debate, he was in the wrong, whether you, I , or the almighty himself disagrees with it.

Well, I first hope that the almighty is not on this case, because I am sure it has more important things to deal with.

And secondly, everything is relative. I respect your PoV and I hope you can accept that other people see it differently and feel there were some shared responsibilities which led to a race incident in the end. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nothing to compare with something like this:


Or this:


Or, obviously this:


I mean, Max being aggressive!? Naaaahhhh!!

And? This has to do with Silverstone how?

It has to do with Silverstone because when I read posts like the ones you have put out there or others who have called Lewis' move a "POS move", then I would imagine that Lewis would have carried out a move like the ones in the first two videos I just posted (and clearly we are light years away from it).

It also has to do with Silverstone, because you and others display this "black and white" attitude in support of Max, whenever he clearly has not been squeaky clean in his career so far, as illustrated in the third video I included above.

Interestingly, it also brings us to the very last statement of Ayrton in the third video: "if as a race car driver, you no longer go for any gap that is offered to you, then you are no longer a race car driver". 😗

So, while I do understand that we all can be fan boys and can lose a definite level of objectivity in the heat of the moment, once the "dust settles", then I usually hope for a bit more measure from others.

Clearly, I am delusional. My bad!! 👍

Didn’t realize Lewis showing his true colors would cause such an issue.
And I am wondering why people are so angry.

Must be because Lewis won in the end. THIS must be the reason why so many people are upset: Lewis got lucky, didn't he!?

Anyhow, I will leave it at that, because I am surely no Lewis fan boy, and will now return cheering the Charles, Pierres and other Estebans of the pack. 👍

It is interesting that Bottas continues to get a very hard time, while doing a much better job than Perez, who in contrast is often praised?

Just watched the BGP replay. It didn't look to me that Hamilton was in the wrong, but the stewards seemed to think so. Considering this, I'm not sure if it is justified to let him keep the race win if it was deemed he intentionally forced his only serious challenger off the track. But with that said, I have no idea what is in the FIA rulebook.

Great race by Leclerc. Too bad Norris had the jacked-up pit stop, Charles would have likely been on the top step.

I don’t understand how you have made the leap from a racing incident deemed to be more Lewis’s fault than Max’s to him intentionally driving Max off track. That is not what happened and not what the penalty was for.
That he managed to overcome the penalty and win through a determined and error free drive is to be commended surely?
The only drivers I can think of in F1 to intentional drive into there competitors are Ayrton, Prost and Schumacher. Those actions were clumsy and obvious. If Lewis could punt off other drivers without damaging his car then he deserves at least another 8 World Titles for such silky skills.

If it was a "racing incident" Ham would not have gotten a penalty. Perhaps he didn't intend to send him off the track, but the result is just the same.

Will be heated in Hungary today... 😗
It will be interesting to see what happens on the first lap with the two Mercedes on the front row on medium tires and the two Red Bull’s right behind them on the soft tires.
